Residential prices fall by 0.7% QoQ in Q3

Rents also declined by 4% during the quarter.

Private residential prices fell by 0.7% quarter-on-quarter during the third quarter of the year marking the first decline since Q2 2023, according to a Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) report.

After increasing over three years, private residential rents have since fallen by 4% with moderation observed across all market segments.

Since Q1 2023, quarterly private housing completions have averaged 3,600 units, about 50% higher than in 2022.

Overall, the risks to the household sector are expected to be contained with the easing of mortgage rates in H1 2024, accompanied by stable income growth and improved liquidity position of households.

However, given the heightened geopolitical uncertainties and trade tensions in the macro-financial environment, MAS urges households to exercise prudence in their financial management.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
